“MORE ABOUT THE AMERICAN LEGION RIDERS”
Today, over 1000 Legion Riders programs, organized by chapters, districts, or departments, support Americanism, and Children and Youth programs in virtually every state in the nation, and more are organizing each month. One of the fastest growing, and most highly visible of the many programs offered by the American Legion, is The American Legion Riders. This group is a diverse group, and so are the programs they support. What do the Legion Riders do? The activities are far too many to mention in this space, but here are a few examples:
1. American Legion Riders chapters and districts, nationally, have become some of the most generous donors for the American Legacy Scholarship Fund, raising as much as $5,000 or more in a single event.
2. Legion Riders participate in the annual POW/MIA Rally held each Memorial weekend in Washington D.C. known as “Rolling Thunder”.
3. Legion Riders sponsor or participate in local and national charity events in support of the sponsoring American Legion Post.
4. Legion Riders ride to raise money for such organizations as local VA Hospitals, Battered Women and Children’s Center, Varied Children and Youth programs, a School for Blind Children, Veterans Relief, Needy families, and many, many others.
5. Legion Riders founded a national movement called “The Patriot Guard Riders”, which honors and protects the sanctity of military funerals and memorial services.
